'Intriguing and informative, Private Inquiries is a fascinating
piece of detective work.' Martin Edwards, President of the
Detection Club
'Davies is a great storyteller and this is feast of true crime and
women’s place in history. Fascinating and utterly riveting.'
Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws, KC
‘Private Inquiries is a must-read – a riveting mythbuster, with its
revelations of the real histories of women PIs.’ – Val McDermid
‘Every page teems with larger-than-life characters – women who
broke the mould and the accepted rules to make their way in a
traditionally male world of private investigation. It is a story
told with style and panache by an author who not only talks the
talk but has walked the walk, training as an investigator herself.’
– Daniel Smith, author of Scandal at Dolphin Square: A Notorious
History
